2025 marks a pivotal moment in risk management, and I’m thrilled to share why. When Effectiv joined forces with Socure last year, it marked a monumental step forward in our mission to solve the most complex challenges in fraud prevention and identity verification.

Today I’m proud to introduce RiskOS, a unified platform for fraud prevention, identity verification, and regulatory compliance that will reshape how businesses approach risk decisioning.

Building on a Shared Mission

At its core, RiskOS is more than a platform. It’s the realization of a shared vision to simplify and amplify the power of risk management across the customer lifecycle.

By combining Socure’s identity graph — which delivers the highest match rates and fraud detection accuracy on the market — with Effectiv’s decisioning engine, RiskOS unifies disparate tools into a single, adaptive ecosystem that is both intuitive and accessible. Our platform delivers enterprise-grade performance and scalability, with workflow execution times under 150 milliseconds and throughput exceeding 1,000 queries per second.

What Sets RiskOS Apart

RiskOS isn’t just another tool; it’s a comprehensive system designed to tackle risk across the customer lifecycle. Here’s why it’s transformative:

One Platform, Infinite Possibilities: The End of Fragmented Risk Management

Historically, businesses relied on fragmented tools to address specific points in the customer journey — onboarding, authentication, payments, or account recovery. RiskOS changes that by integrating 20+ Socure solutions and 50+ partner products into a unified platform.

To start off, we’re launching with five critical use cases:

  • Consumer onboarding: Verify new users while reducing friction for low-risk applicants through real-time identity verification
  • Business onboarding: Streamline KYB processes with automated business verifications
  • Bank account verification: Prevent costly payment errors by confirming account ownership before transfers
  • Account takeover prevention: Stop unauthorized access by analyzing device signals and behavioral patterns
  • Trust and Safety: Enhance platform security through real-time PII verification and risk assessments

This creates a stateful, adaptive view of identity and transactions, allowing businesses to evaluate risk continuously and in real time. For instance, a small business applying for a loan can be validated seamlessly by combining Socure’s identity services with our third-party business identity data partners — all in one workflow.

The result? Faster onboarding, reduced friction, and higher confidence in decisioning.

Build Without Boundaries: Enterprise Power Meets No-Code Simplicity

One of RiskOS’s standout features is its dynamic no-code interface, enabling businesses to deploy risk strategies in weeks, not months through an intuitive drag-and-drop canvas.

Risk teams can leverage pre-built templates or customize workflows to meet their needs. Whether you’re running A/B tests, adjusting rules in real time, or implementing complex workflows, RiskOS puts you in control.

For startups, this means leveraging pre-built templates based on decades of industry expertise. For enterprises, it means seamlessly integrating custom machine learning models and tools while maintaining complete flexibility. Everyone gets enterprise-grade capabilities, scaled to their needs.

Transforming Risk for Businesses and Consumers Alike

In an era where deepfakes and synthetic identities pose growing threats, the balance between security and user experience is critical.

RiskOS delivers on both fronts: businesses get faster decisioning and higher fraud detection accuracy, while customers enjoy smoother experiences throughout their journey.

What’s Next for RiskOS?

RiskOS is just the beginning. In 2025, we’re rolling out even more powerful solutions, including:

  • AML transaction monitoring to detect money laundering at scale
  • Payment fraud detection across ACH, wire payments, and more
  • Credit underwriting to help businesses assess risk and make more informed lending decisions

Our vision is simple: to make certainty in identity the foundation of every risk decision. Whether it’s onboarding, payments, or login, RiskOS empowers businesses to say ‘yes’ with confidence while stopping bad actors in their tracks.

If you’re ready to simplify your strategies, accelerate decisioning, and protect your organization like never before, let’s talk.
